There's already been artenpts to merge the two n Ireland, even in England There's been talk of Diwallwen

https//www. BBC. co. uk/news/articles/cx2ln642d52o

Both festivals are remarkably similar www.researchgate.net/.../348928020_Similarities_between_festivals_'Diwali'_in_India_and_'Samhain'_in_European_civilizations

Neither. Halloween may get annoying because of annoying kids bumping in to invade your privacy and Diwali, don't even ask.. people create a ruckus on the roads, loud noises everywhere (I resent it) and for anyone who has been to Delhi during this time knows what it feels like breathing in the gunpowder for consecutive days. I like my lungs healthy and loud noises away.

[fonduegirl]

Hard agree

[Subtle_Luminescence]

Forgot to add: the mass supply off adulterated sweets being sold on Diwali. The more I highligh how this festival is celebrated, the more Indians' self destructive tendencies get highlighted.
Hah!

[NathanDavis]

I don't actually know enough about Diwali... and I've had too many Halloweens so, why not live and learn...

I'll take Diwali this time

[fonduegirl]

Do you like fireworks?

[NathanDavis]

lmao, not anymore no...

at least on this side of the world, most of them are way too loud and very obnoxious

but maybe from afar... and at night, they could be nice

[fonduegirl]

Fireworks and sweets are the building blocks of Diwali

[NathanDavis]

sweets as in candy?

or desserts?

[fonduegirl]

Sweet dishes

Diwali. It’s a happier more positive holiday (though I don’t celebrate it irl because I’m not Hindu). But I’m glad people don’t have to choose between the two. They’re both good holidays.

Diwali, the "festival of lights," celebrates the triumph of good over evil and knowledge over ignorance, emphasizing spiritual renewal and family togetherness.

[Nikki1989]

Halloween but I really don't enjoy that day either.

[AlexBlack007]

As much as I love spooky stuff, when it's between Diwali and Halloween, it has to be Diwali for me.

[Anonymous]

I like both, Diwali is like a New Years celebration, my favorite holiday.

People don't celebrate Halloween in my country, but I would, it's a very interesting holiday.

[SotiCoto]

Nos Calan Gaeaf, obviously. Or we could just go with Halloween.

All that Diwali crap is garbage from thousands of miles away and we don't need it. It has no business existing here.

[Kaneki05]

We don't have Diwali so Halloween of course.

[shortster]

I will stick with Halloween. Mostly because I don't know what goes into a Dawali celebration.

[NordicInScandinavia]

Neither. 🤷‍♀️

What is Diwal

[emeraldsaphire]

It's a holiday in Hinduism and Buddhism as well as a few other regions. It's celebrated around Halloween time, usually a little bit later, It celebrates light coming back. Because not to long after the days will start getting longer. People celebrate with lots of lights and candles.
